Guadalupe Salgado's work alludes to the state of personal, seasonal and system ruin. Her iconography comes from a collective baggage that shows us satire in tragedy. Formally, her series begin as drawings that overflow by themselves, becoming sculptures (or sculptural messages), using metal and textiles that converge as assemblages juxtaposing time-space annotations. Salgado occupies the construction material as leftover views of a glory, while the textile works as annotations of daily life, rethinking the perception and meaning of what we assume. Together they are visual tropes of humanity that question the broken and the useless as a feat of survival. The works generate a falsely candid narration of the human condition in the face of the collapse of their own cultures and consumption.
